Is Kevin Garnett a Top 10 player to you?

Honestly, I have him as the 2nd best PF (after Duncan) ever and also a top 10 player. I know its arguable that he is neither but do any of you have him in the top 10 of all time?

My reason is because back in his Minnesota days he was a lock for 23 pts, 13 reb, 5 ast 2 blk, 1 stl, 50% shooting. He could even play and defend on the perimeter. But unlike Duncan, Shaq, Webber, Dirk, Wallace, J. O'Neal he had no help to win anything. His next best player during his years in Minny was Wally Szczerbiak. You can't compare that to David Robinson, Kobe, Artest/Miller, Peja/Bibby, or Nash/Finley. The second he got some help he won a championship and probably would have won back to back years if he didn't get injured, Back to the Finals in 2010, the trade in 011 messed up their chemistry but their 2012 run was magnificent.

No, not even close. Top 5 PF all time but not top 10 player. To me those top 10 guys dominated their positions at some point. Back in their primes him, C-Webb, and Sheed were all pretty much neck and neck and he couldn't do anything with Duncan....

Top 20 but def not top 10 by any stretch. His peak seasons rank among the best ever for a PF but his total body of work isn't top 10 material. I personally think Malone and Barkley both have had better careers than KG but because he has a ring I'll slot him just a hair above them and behind Timmy.

If I were ranking him by impact on floor, he'll still be in my top 15 because of the defensive force he brings to a team. look at celtics for example, before he came they were near the bottom in defensive rankings, but he has turned them into a real defensive team.
